Pop-Punk with an extra side of fun is one way to put Patent Pending’s new album Save Each Other, The Whales Are Doing Fine. The band mixes fast crunchy guitars with fun dance along rhythms in songs like “Los Angeles” and “This Can’t Happen Again.” I swore I was listening to Punchline when “This Can’t Happen Again” came on as the vocals sound almost the same. “Decemberween” has more of a reggae style with it’s guitars and added horns. The band seems to fill in a bunch of other tracks that have either a ballad style or are filled with sappy love lyrics for the wrest of the album.
